Pixi MatteLast Liquid Lip Review & Swatches

You may have seen my previous post all about my Pixi Lip Picks, if so, you may already have an inkling that Pixi just do lip products right.

A few weeks ago I got my (probably swatch smothered) hands on Pixi's MatteLast Liquid Lipsticks. They come in a handful of gorgeous, uber flattering colours on a pink and nude spectrum. I love the colours out currently, but I love the formula so much too I wish Pixi would release more shades! Currently, I have, from top to bottom:

Matte Beige, Pastel Petal, Au Naturelle, Really Rose, Evening Rose

I really enjoy wearing these lipsticks because they're so comfortable, which is no surprise considering they're infused with Rosehip Oil to hydrate the lips throughout the day. They have a thinly whipped texture that's very light weight. You can tell it's on though, it's not so airy and light that you can't feel it on at all. I love the consistency of the liquid itself, it's not too runny so it's very easy to control. It's also completely opaque in one swipe - these are so pigmented!

They dry down to a very delicate matte. It feels very soft rather than tacky or rough, which is what makes it so comfortable to wear. It also looks velvet like rather than crinkly, it doesn't sink into fine lines and exaggerate them. They stay soft matte throughout the day and, in my experience, don't smudge or flake off at all. They're super long wearing and seem to last through any food. I managed to retain near perfect lipstick even after eating a Meatball Marinara from Subway (which, if you haven't had before, it's messy AF). That's impressive, if I do say so myself!

I also really like the packaging. It's a very sturdy packaging, but of course it is plastic - it's not frosted glass like you might expect from Chanel! It does feel very substantial though, it doesn't feel like a lipstick you picked up from the bargain bin in Superdrug. You know what I mean? The doe foot applicator on this lippy is very special too, it's almost diamond shaped with a very fine point so you can get right into the corners of your mouth. The hole in the centre of it makes it quite flexible rather than stiff, so it really hugs your lips for precise application!

I do like pixi products but I have so much trouble finding a colour lipstick to suit me. It drives me mad I don’t feel I can wear any dark colours , any bright pinks, any purples , they just don’t look good on me. Kali Filsell

Pixi are definitely a brand id LOVE to try out. I’ve never actually owned anything by them yet completely drool over their Instagram and website all the time. I hear nothing but great reviews on their products, and these lipsticks are definitely right up my sstreet especially it being summer! X
